El Faro de la Marina
El Faro de la Marina Review
Constructed in 1900, this little lighthouse a short walk north from the Parque del Amor has guided ships for more than a century. The classically designed tower is still in use today. On sunny afternoons the large park that surrounds it is one of the most popular spots in Miraflores, with paragliders floating overhead and bicyclists and skate boarders rolling along the ocean-view Malecón (promenade). Children of all ages play on the lawns.
